Artist: Andrew Bird Song: Sweetbreads Original tab by: keith meicher ([email protected]) "Well we've been doing this song all over the UK and we haven't brought it to the mainland yet. But it's very interesting. It deals with...It's called Sweetbreads...it deals with the issues, the numerous issues involved in consuming the vital organs of an animal. And everywhere we go, we find out that 'sweetbreads' means a different thing. I guess that's why they call it 'variety meats'... But, anyway... It's a really awful song. Here we go:"
G
when i was a little boy

  Em
i threw away my action toys

      C                         D/F#
while i became obsessed with operation

       G
with hearts and minds and certain glands

    Em
you learn to keep a steady hand

    C                      D/F#
and thus began a morbid fascination
with
Am7    D7    G    Bm7/F#     C
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetbreads

         D/F#                    G     G7
i could taste what you were thinking

Am7    D7    G    Bm7/F#     C
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetbreads

         D/F#                 G
thats the taste of neurons blinking

       G
do you wonder where the self resides

       Em
is it in your head or between your sides

     C                           D/F#
and whos gonna decide its true location

             G
cause its a question for the centuries

       Em
from communion to mad cow disease

           C                         D/F#
but is it worthy of a song or lifes vocation

          Em
and the sweetest sweetbread of them all

 Emb6
within in a kingdom of afar

  Em6                                 D/F#
called them thoughts and metaphor-inations
Adim7 they called them
Am7    D7    G    Bm7/F#     C
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetbreads

         D/F#                    G     G7

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetbreads

         D/F#                 G
thats the taste of neurons blinking

          G
does the thought of biles red and black

     Em
the thought of tounges that taste you back

 C                        D/F#
fill you with a noisey oscillation

        G
where a simple trip to the grocery store

     Em
can fill you with an object horror

        C                           D/F#
can you taste the misery of those crustations

          Em
and the sweetest sweetbread of them all

 Emb6
within in a kingdom of afar should've

  Em6                   D/F#
caused some silent machinations
Adim7 they call them
Am7    D7    G    Bm7/F#     C
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetbreads

         D/F#                    G     G7

Am7    D7    G    Bm7/F#     C
sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetbreads

         D/F#                 G
thats the taste of neurons blinking

            D/F#                 G
aw, I could taste what you were thinking

    C            D/F#             G
oh, give me your thoughts about sweetbread
